Running a 60fps web application using a RaspberryPi

Don't be a dick about it.

Of course you can build an OpenGL ES application on the Pi – there are people doing this. But that's a absolute frigging world away from being able to build a usable UI on it.

For example, I am building a device that interacts with a user. It basically looks like a standard iOS or Android app, in that it has a few screens of text, some form fields, select boxes, and other UI widgets. Building this sort of application as a barebones OpenGL implementation would be stupid.

Whatever floats your boat. If you can leverage existing code then this might be an excellent option. But for the general use case building a simple and/or decent user interface I would say that you probably would be way better of just using QT.

Use MOAI. I did. It freakin' rocks on the rPi and is one hell of a great way to build a delightful UI ..
